I listen to a lot of teen fiction audio books. Some of my favorites includ e: Books one and two of the Beyonders series by Brandon Mull The Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett Airborne by Kenneth Opel The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud

Those are all very entertaining teen novels to listen to. Enjoy any or all .

Agree, I listened to the audio version of a Cardturner to--it was refreshi ng! It was also a good intergenerational story too. Louis Sachar is one of m y favorite writers--only he could pull off a book about Bridge for teens.

I am not sure if this title has been mentioned yet, but Louis Sachar's "Th e Cardturner," is absolutely wonderful, read by Sachar himself. Entertainin gly sarcastic...he is fun to listen to, and the story has turned into, surpr isingly, a favorite! A fictional love story surrounded by the game of Bridge , Sachar followed his instinct and went ahead in writing it although many ad vised him at first not to pursue the idea. I am so glad he did!
